Special Guardianship

Special Guardianship

We have experience of representing parents, grandparents, other relatives, and foster parents in these important cases.

In families, situations can arise which mean that children cannot always be looked after by their birth parents, However, we may be able to assist in keeping the children within their extended family.

Special Guardianship is an Order that can be made by a Court to secure a child’s long-term placement with a family member or close friend. This means that the Special Guardian will have responsibility for the day-to-day decisions and all the important choices about the child’s future.
